The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

"My..." Master Howton's fists were trembling with anger and his body was shaking uncontrollably like a Parkinson's patient as he clenched his teeth and said, "My name is Caden Howton. Everyone in North America addresses me respectfully as Master Howton!"

Charlie curled his lips, looked him up and down, then asked, "They refer to you as Master Howton?"

Caden clenched his teeth and said, "That's right! I'm Master Howton!"

Charlie curled his lips and said, "Oh, everyone refers to me as Master Wade, but if you're Master Howton, do you believe that you're more powerful than me, then?”

Caden thought that Charlie was deliberately mocking him, so he said angrily, "Young lad, you're really eloquent, but I'm not in the mood to talk nonsense with you now! I came here today to look for Anthony Simmons. Where is he?! Ask him to come out and talk to me!"

As soon as his words fell, Xyla ran in quickly.

As she ran, she said to Charlie, "Master Wade, I've already done everything you asked me to do!"

Caden looked at Xyla and questioned her immediately, "Hey, girl! Where's your grandfather?! Why is he being a coward when he said that he would willingly accept defeat when he lost yesterday?!"noveldrama

Xyla grunted. "You villain! My grandfather is not a coward! If you want to talk about cowards, you're the real coward here! You're a coward that's desperately trying to take advantage of others, just like an old turtle that's desperately stretching its head out to bite people!"

"You..." Caden's face turned pale with anger when he thought of Xyla's description. He then cursed angrily, "Okay! It's fine if Anthony Simmons doesn't come out. I'll take his signboard down myself, then!"

Charlie stopped him immediately. "Wait! Old man, you're really shameless, aren't you? Who do you think you are that you would actually dare to come to someone else's clinic to take down their signboard? Are you a bandit?"

Caden said coldly, "Anthony Simmons already lost Serene World Clinic to me yesterday, and he said that he's willing to accept defeat after he lost the bet. Is he going back on his word now?"

Charlie curled his lips and said, "Oh, I'm afraid you do not know the law, do you, old man? The cost of the renovation and furnishings for a medical clinic like this would cost at least a million dollars. If you're saying that someone lost something that's worth a million dollars in a bet, that means that you're gambling illegally, then!"

After saying that, Charlie said to Xyla immediately, "Xyla, call 110 now. I want to see what the police say!"

Caden was anxious and stomped his feet as he said, "You... You're going back on your word!"

Charlie sneered and said, "I'm not going back on my word. You're the one who made the bet yourself! What's more, I didn't see what kind of bet you made with Anthony. Do you have any witnesses?"

Caden said coldly, "Of course I have witnesses. All the people who came to see the doctor here yesterday are my witnesses! Among them is the woman who volunteered to be our test subject when I competed against Anthony Simmons! She can also testify!"

Charlie asked again, "Why don't you tell me what the both of you competed in, then?"

Caden said arrogantly, "We compared our skills at reading pulses! Firstly, we competed on who could determine the other party's age, secondly, we competed on who can determine..."

Charlie did not wait for him to finish his sentence. He interrupted Caden directly and blurted out, "Okay, you don't have to say anymore. I'm already curious about the first point. How did you set the rules to guess the age by reading a person's pulse?”

Caden said coldly, "The rule is for the two of us to read the woman's pulse together and then write the woman's date of birth on a piece of paper. We then asked the woman to take out her identity card to see which one of us wrote down the date that was closer to the woman's birth date! The person who wrote down the date that's closest to her actual date of birth wins!"

Charlie nodded and asked again, "What were the specific results when the two of you guessed the woman's age then?"

Caden immediately said loudly, "I

guessed that the woman was born on 8th August 1966, and Anthony Simmons guessed that she was born on 1st March 1967. The date shown on the woman's identity card was 15th August 1966, which is only a week away from the date I guessed!”

Charlie frowned and asked, "Are you that amazing? You can guess the other person's birth date by reading their pulses and the error was only seven days?"

Caden snorted and said, "You're really a person with limited outlook and experience. There's a lot more that I can tell by reading a person's pulse!"

Charlie curled his lips, stretched out his hand to him, and said, “Come, take a look at my pulse and tell me when my birthday is! Let me tell you in advance, I'll slap you if the error is more than seven days!"
